Art Collective
The assignment is to make a one-minute video, defining for the audience “touch.” My group (we had to pick a team name and we came up with “Convergence”) brainstormed and came up with ideas about Braille, texture, inappropriate touching and a motif with paint showing where people touch stuff. Here’s a storyboard I came up with.
A friend of mine is starting an automotive import company and wanted a logo. I pen tooled a regal font to give a modern, yet high end look to a unique typeface. Bauhaus meets Art Deco. I did not receive any feedback from this person regarding the design. Some free work that you sign up for might be for entities that don’t go public, so oh well.
I made these Valentines at the request of my coworker who likes giving her delivery customers little greeting cards for the holidays. I’ve only done the Christmas ones until now. Valentines give a little more leeway for what can be said on one. It’s a holiday where you can be a little cheeky and you’re not offending someone’s sacred ritual. These cardstock/construction paper concoctions were created in something like 45 minutes and there are 50 (limited edition) of them. Each one says something different. Most of the sayings are lines from Moulin Rouge, but I imagined that Ewan McGregor could read aloud any one of these cards and it would sound right. This was easy and fun and I think we should bring back making these instead of outsourcing to Hallmark.
Some sayings on the cards:
Love lifts us up where we belong.
Love is patient.
Love is kind.
XOXOXO
Kiss Me
Be Mine
Love gives you wings.
Love is never having to say you’re sorry.
I made this logo for a friend of mine. He is currently going to UW Business school and the students of a marketing class grouped up and found/made up products to brand and market.
Clear Mist is a car window defogging spray whose main message is of eco-friendliness. The group in this case gave me a little feedback regarding the leaves in the logo (how they were distracting, and in the end, we opted for a fade of the type, to give it a misty feeling.
Here’s a photoshop mock up of the product’s packaging and part of the ad.
As a design piece, I know that I perhaps should have found different fonts and maybe refrained from the dingbat route, but as a concept (Francis Bacon meets Zooey Deschannel and they make a cookbook together)… Aww right!
I painted a picture of my house. Yup.
update after critique:
Jill said it looked too “street.” She didn’t like how the upper and lower case were together for “Sutherland” and the leaf was dumb. How to make something “informal” but “professional” at the same time?
I worked on it a little bit in illustrator… will smooth it out with sharpies later.
Before critique and after… (still working on it.)
